Product details
Overview
LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 16-bit, 150ksps successive approximation ADC with true differential analog input, single 3V supply operation, and auto-shutdown power management. It features 450µA typical supply current at full speed, 82dB SNR, ±8 LSB INL, and MSOP-8 package - designed for high-precision, low-power data acquisition in portable instrumentation and isolated sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts - all grounded in official Linear Technology documentation and distributor specifications.
Technical Context
The LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF implements a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, supporting unipolar differential input ranges from 0V to VREF (1V–3.6V). Its conversion cycle is initiated by a rising edge on CONV, completes in 3.7–4.66µs, and automatically enters sleep mode (10µA) when CONV remains high post-conversion.
It uses a 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface: SDO outputs 16-bit data on SCK falling edges, while CONV low enables SDO and defines sampling window timing. The device requires no minimum data transfer rate and operates with external reference voltage applied to VREF pin - unlike the LTC1865L variant, it lacks internal MUX and SDI input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 1 part in 65,536 quantization granularity for precision measurement systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 150ksps maximum - supports real-time capture of signals up to ~20kHz full-linear bandwidth. |
| Supply Current | 450µA typ at 150ksps; drops to 10µA at 1ksps - enables battery-powered operation for >1 year in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| INL Error | ±8 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.12% end-point linearity error over full temperature range. |
| SNR | 82dB - supports effective resolution of ~13.3 bits in noise-sensitive signal chains. |
| Reference Range | 1V to VCC (2.7–3.6V) - allows direct interfacing with low-voltage sensors without gain stages. |
| Digital Interface | SPI/MICROWIRE 3-wire - simplifies host connection to MCUs, FPGAs, or DSPs with minimal GPIO usage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.86mm body, 0.65mm pitch, lead coplanarity ≤0.102mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | External reference input | Defines full-scale span; must be low-noise and bypassed with ≥1µF to AGND - determines absolute accuracy and ratiometric flexibility. |
| IN+ (Pin 2) | Differential analog input (+) | High-impedance input sampled simultaneously with IN−; accepts 0V to VREF range - enables common-mode noise rejection in noisy environments. |
| IN− (Pin 3) | Differential analog input (−) | Paired with IN+; zero code occurs when IN+ − IN− = 0 - supports true differential sensing or single-ended operation with IN− grounded. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; must connect directly to analog ground plane - critical for achieving specified 82dB SNR. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive supply | Single 2.7–3.6V supply; requires local 1µF tantalum bypass to GND - ripple >10mVpp degrades INL and SNR performance. |
| CONV (Pin 5) | Convert control input | Rising edge starts conversion; held high after completion triggers auto-shutdown - eliminates need for external power-gating logic. |
| SCK (Pin 7) | Serial clock input | Synchronizes 16-bit data shift-out on falling edge; supports DC to 8MHz - enables flexible timing with low-overhead MCU firmware. |
| SDO (Pin 6) | Serial data output | Tri-state output enabled by CONV low; drives 16-bit result MSB-first - compatible with standard SPI master receivers without level-shifting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True differential input | Rejects common-mode noise up to 20kHz bandwidth - essential for industrial transducer interfaces with long cable runs. |
| Auto shutdown at low sampling rates | Reduces ICC from 450µA to 10µA at 1ksps - extends battery life in IoT node applications without software intervention. |
| No minimum data transfer rate | Allows indefinite idle periods between conversions - simplifies low-duty-cycle firmware design and eliminates clock gating complexity. |
| 16-bit upgrade path from 12-bit LTC1860L/LTC1861L | Pin-compatible replacement with identical MSOP-8 footprint - enables resolution upgrade without PCB redesign. |
| High input impedance & reduced span support | Accepts 1V full-scale inputs and interfaces directly with micro-power op amps (e.g., LT1469) - eliminates external gain/level-shift stages. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency of the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF supports a maximum sampling frequency of 150ksps, with guaranteed conversion time of 3.7–4.66µs across its full operating temperature range. At this rate, the device draws 450µA typical supply current and achieves 82dB SNR. Reducing sampling rate proportionally lowers power consumption due to automatic shutdown between conversions.
Does the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin (Pin 1). It supports reference voltages from 1V to VCC (2.7–3.6V), enabling ratiometric operation with sensor bridges or precision fixed references like the LT1460. Unlike the LTC1865L SO-8 variant, the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF does not tie VREF internally to VCC.
Is the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with older 12-bit ADCs?
Yes, the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF is pin-compatible with the 12-bit LTC1860L and LTC1861L in the same MSOP-8 package. This allows direct replacement to upgrade resolution from 12-bit to 16-bit without PCB layout changes - preserving existing signal routing, bypassing, and grounding schemes while improving measurement fidelity.
What digital interface protocol does the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF use?
The LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF uses a 3-wire SPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface with dedicated CONV, SCK, and SDO lines. It does not require SDI or chip select. Data is shifted out MSB-first on SDO synchronized to SCK falling edges, and conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CONV - eliminating protocol overhead and simplifying MCU firmware implementation.
Can the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF operate with a 1V reference voltage?
Yes, the LTC1864LCS8#TRPBF is fully specified to operate with reference voltages as low as 1V, maintaining 16-bit resolution and ±8 LSB INL performance. This enables direct interfacing with low-voltage sensors and micropower references, reducing or eliminating the need for external gain stages - a key enabler for ultra-low-power signal chains.
